As soon as I saw that Pops knew what I had done and seemed to understand my plan I quickly got my tail out of there. Running away as quickly as I could for the only place I could think of that had a person that might be able to help. I'd barely gotten out of the front gates when the entire property exploded, a giant shockwave sending me flying forwards at a much faster pace than I'd been running and feeling like it had even broken a few bones.

I couldn't make sense of what was being said in my head, the words that the Voice transmitted directly to my brain turned into a sort of hushed background noise over the ringing in my ears. Slowly getting up I looked back, the entire area just past the walls' borders was a barren wasteland of various craters. The ground cracked and splintered in a spider-web like fashion and nearly nothing resembling a building left where the mansion was. Even the walls looked like they'd been repetitively hammered on by a demolition team, just barely holding together with cracks and deep grooves spreading throughout the entirety of their structure. 

I was glad I'd been able to get this far before it went off. Just feeling that shockwave from this far away was enough to make all of my muscles feel like jelly and while I don't think I broke any bones it sure felt like it. If I'd been any closer I was sure that my tail, and maybe even my legs, would've been absolutely shattered; If this had gone any differently I would have been completely immobilized, and there was nothing I could've done otherwise or the people attacking Pops might've found me somehow and decided to use me as a hostage against him, or worse. 

I turned back to the city, the reason why I was leaving coming back to me: I needed to get to that Cinder lady. Even though she would likely have heard that explosion and might already be on her way over I needed to at least make sure that she was, and that Red was going to be okay. Since she was also bound to be attacked by another group too...I could only hope that Freija and Wreign could keep her safe in the mean-time. 

The next hundred steps forwards felt like learning to walk all over again: my back legs would drag against the ground and I'd randomly bump into or trip over things. My tail wasn't acting like it should in order to keep me stable, and I had a hard time just keeping myself straight. The state of running again wasn't even a thought at this point while I gathered myself and persevered on my mission to get help.
